I spent the better part of the morning online doing the job application thing, like I have been nearly every day since unemployment. I was also in touch with one of the employment agencies I signed up for, but I was really not thrilled with what they had to offer me at this time (I told them I could work retail for more money and more hours). Then, late this afternoon, I got a call from the other agency regarding the interview I went on last Friday. Long story short – I got the job! I thought the interview went really well, and I seemed to have a good chemistry with the interviewer (who will be my direct supervisor), but I came away thinking it was a great shot, but I probably wouldn’t be selected. I was so wrong on that second part. They need someone asap, so I’ll be starting on Wednesday. It’s with a great company, and it’s temp to perm, close to home, and all that good stuff, plus it will give me a chance to learn a bit more about accounting, which was my original goal months ago when I parted ways with MRI. So yay! Time for some ice cream and vintage movies with Boyfriend.
Finally, A Job

Congratulations. Apparently, searching for a job gets no easier as you get to be an adult. You got a lucky break.
YAY! Congrats!!!! I hope it works out and they hire you permanently!
Man, those agencies…they are hit and miss. I went to Appleone about a year ago and I don’t know if it was the girl I got or what but they only sent me on ONE interview. I had better luck on my own. Plus, they kept wanting to put me in jobs that were crap for pay.
Good luck tomorrow on your first day!!!!
Thanks!
Jordon – job hunting, along with many other things, definitely do NOT get any easier with age. But hopefully one gets better at it.
Pookie – Appleone is nothing but a bunch of resume farmers – I know that from having worked in the staffing industry. I actually got this job through Accountants Inc. which was pretty neat since I have no accounting background.
Hey! That is excellent–congratulations!
Congrats – hope your first day is going well!
